SENATOR W IS HERE
His Arrival Was Not Expected Uatll
This Moraiarj.
MANY CALLERS AKE RECEIVED
Walked from tho Depot to ths Uotsl
Whers lie Informally Received
Last Night -RIsM-Bower sad
Secretary with Mm.
United States Senator 01. 8. Quay, ac
companied by his secretary, Y. F.
Wright, and chief right bower. Ser-geant-at-Arms
J. R. Harrah, of the
state senate. Is at the Wyoming house,
where he arrived quietly and unherald
ed at an early hour last evening.
His visit had been anticipated, but he
was not expected until this monnlng.
which may account for the absence of
Senator Quay's Scranton friends when
that distinguished person alighted from
the 6.45 train at nhe Jersey Central
depot, lie walked to tho hotel, where
he was greeted by two of his local lieu
tenants. Major T. F. Penman and City
Treasurer Keese O. Brooks. Last night
he received Informally a number of
callers and later was closeted for an
hour or more with several visitors who
aro looking after his stte organization
fences In this region. Today calls of a
more formal nature will be made and a
ffcial and more Important conference
will be held.
As the senator, preceded by Sergeant
Harrah and followed by Secretary
WrlRht. alighted from tha train, he
seemed o betray a sense of pleasure
rather than annoyance at the absence
of his Scranton political friends. He
glanced cursorily at a trio of reporters,
one of whom he knew and saluted with
a hurried handshake and then passed
through the depot and up the steps
Into the street. He did not suggest the
need of a carriage, but. piloted by Ser
geant Harrah, who was here in his
chiefs Interests a week ago, walked
across 'the Lackawanna avenue bridge
and direct to the Wyoming house.
One Man Knew lllm.
Pfulnly and carelessly dressed In a
lightweight sack suit of dark brown
color, a black bow tie and a straw hat,
and without a cane or valise, ho at
tracted no especial attention and was
apparently unknown to the throng
which passed along Lackawanna ave
nue, exempting on person whose iden
tity could not be ascertained. This in
dividual was middle-aged, black mous
tached and plainly but respectably
dressed. He accosted Senator Quay
near Penn avenue where there was a
brief conversation and then the party
continued lt3 walk to the hotel.
Secretary Wright first registered the
names of Mr. Quay and Sergeant Har
rah. as hailing from "Beaver," and then
attached his own name and "Washing
ton." To Mr. Quay was assigned two
connecting rooms on the first floor and
a room each to the two accompanying
him. As the party turned from the reg
ister Major Penman and Mr. Brooks
entered the corridor front the street.
The former and Mr. Quay exchanged
salutations, after which Mr. Brooks
was introduced.
Aftr net more than a minute's con
versation Mr. Quay remarked that he
would meet with his friends in the eve
ning. He then went to his room.
From 8 until nearly 10 o'clock it be
came known tha t the senator wa3 In the
city and a number of well-known Re
publicans called and in each case their
cards were answered by a request to
"come up."
To a Tribune reporter Senator Quay
said lie had not been In Scranton since
the riots of 1S77, when he was here with
Governor Hartranft. While he waj not
personally acquainted with the re
sources and attractiveness of the city,
he remarked, he knew of Its rapid
strlds In wealth, advantages and
growth.
Would Not Tslk Politics.
To reporters and friends he would not
talk concerning the present factional
Quay-Hastings fight, which has caused
his presence here; to reporters he ex
pressed himself firmly on this point,
while among his visitors he evaded or
turned any conversation which might
have led to a discussion, of the matter.
Probably this lafternoon Mr. Quay
will return to Wllkes-Barre. Ho may
go as far north as Susquehanna county,
which has two delegates yet to elect,
and is expected to look after Monroe
county, where one delegate Is yet to be
named. He propose to return to Phil
adelphia during the latter part of the
week.
NOT A CHARITY HOSPITAL.
Misconception of ths .New Ordor at Moses
Taylor Hospital.
On. Saturday last notices were post
ed about the city announcing that here
after the Moses Taylor hospital will be
open to all patients with the exception
of those affected with contagious dis
eases. Heretofore the benefits of the Institution-
were confined to sick or Injured
employee) of the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western Railroad company and
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany. Not even the wives or children
of the beneficiaries would be received
at the hospital or given outside attend
ance by the hospital corps, as ft was
against the decrees of the charter.
Now, however, the Institution Is open
to all. Patients will be received a-nd
treated at rates varying from $7 to $30
a week, according to the accommoda
tions desired. This attendance in
cludes board, medicines and all such
necessaries.
A false Impression was given out
by some of the Sunday papers that the
new order of things would place Jrhe
hospital on the same footing with char
ity Institutions. This Is not the case.
Or. Leet stated yesterday that It was
he who had suggested the new plan to
the directors and one of his principal
reasons for so doing was his belief that
thereby the hospital could be made self
sustaining. DIDN'T RETURN PRESENTS.
Or Ssnd Bask the Letters or Anything
That Is Usual In Sneh Cases.
Y keeps a boarding house at Tenth and
Hampton streets, and William Blaks Is
one of her boarders. 'Mrs. Fisher has
that fascination about her which Is
valuable to some widows, and which In
this case brought as a lover to her feet
the star boarder, William Blake.
This Williams was wont to have cus
tard pie and rice pudding for dessert,
while his fellow boarders had to satisfy
themselves with prunes and apple
sauce, and It was hinted about among
the other occupants of tha house that
William - never had any troubla In
tamdlng-oCf the boarding missis.
When, a few weeks ago, William
found himself eating stewed apples and
prunes with the common boarders he
began to suspect that ha was losing bis
grip, and when shortly afterwards It
was actually tntlmated to him that his
board bill was due, he became satisfied
that something was amiss, and after
keeping his eyes wide open for a day
or two learned that another boarder
was occupying ths position of star.
His Jealousy could not stand this, so
he left for other parts, but returned
soon after when Mrs. Fisher, tiring of
her new star boarder, sent after Will
iam to come back and occupy the best
room.
William returned and everything
went smoothly until Saturday night,
whom Mrs. Fisher again showed the
fickleness of her nature by going to a
picnic with another boarder. When
she returned Blake met her, and after
putting his rival to flight took his
boarding mistress sweetheart Into the
house and beat her unmercifully.
Her cries for help awoke the midnight
stillness and Ottlcer John Thomas, who
happened to be nigh, soon rescued her
and placed Blake under arrest. His
new method of dealing with a fickle
sweetheart will receive the attention of
Alderman Millar today.
THE ROSA ARUM E.N T.
Detective Frank Agll's Pepoiitloa Read
Before the Three Judges.
From Friday tho argument for a new
trial In the Ieonnrdt Rosa case was
continued until Saturday morning. At
torney Janus J. H. Hamilton spoke of
the contradictory evidence of the prin
cipal witnesses for the commonwealth,
sod ho criticised the charge of Judge
Edwards to the Jury.
Mr. Hamilton produced the deposi
tion of Detective Frank Aglt. whose
testimony at the trial, as well as his
efforts beforehand, had, In fact, all to
do with tlw conviction of Rosa. The
detective swore thai he did not use
any undue influence, but that tho pri
soner of his own volition confessed to
the murder, informing Agll where to
find the revolver that was used.
In his deposition Agll confesses that
he did rot -tell all he knew; that he sup
pressed evidence which would favor
Rosa. On the witness stand he said
he used no uc.due Influence; In his depo
sition he avers that he reached Rosa's
good graces through the medium of a
pint of whisky. On the stand he did
not tell that Rosa said Laulsso first at
tacked him with a scissors and that the
shooting was done In self-defense. He
admits this In the deposition, as was
announced In Saturday's Tribune that
he would. Attorney John G. McAskle's
argument was arrayed against the ar
gument of District Attorney Jones to
the Jury.
The argument of iMr. Jones on the
part of the commonwealth was a com
prehensive and careful review of the
mala features of the crime, the trial
and the argument for a new trial.
Reports from the county Jail are that
Boschlno and Rosa are very much wor
ried over the murder a week ago at
Jessup; they have expressed grave
fears 'that It will militate against their
chances for a new trial. Bezek devotes
the most of his time reading religious
books and praying. He Is settling him
self for the end, having given up hope
of escape from the gallows.

THE STRANDED THESPIANS.
Poor Board Decided That Thsy Csnnot
Help There.
At the Instigation of Poor Director
John Gibbons the poor board convened
Saturday evening to take action on the
application of the members of the
stranded Laurel Hill Park Opera com
pany for transportation to their homes.
An appeal had bn made to Mr. Gib
bons, but he declined to take any sieps
In the matter without ths sanction of
the board. Mr. Williams was the only
one absent from the meeting.
The question of using the publlo
funds for the purpose of sending tho
unfortunate singers to their homes did
not meet with favor. Mr. Gibbons
pleaded to send the female members
off; but the decision reached was to
offer them free board at the Hlllsldo
Home until the clouds pass away and
they can get money from home.
Sixteen of the Opera company, ten of
whom are girls, yet remain, the others
have been helped by the board of Asso
ciated charities and the Lodge of Elks.
A benefit to raise funds will be given at
tho Frothlngham theater Thursday
evening.

O. JUDGE'S RESOLUTION
Caused a Lively Debate at the Area
bald Diocesan Convention.
DELEGATES VOTED IT DOWN
Tilt Between Mr. Burka and Mr. Judge.
Addresses That Wero Delivered to
ths Delegates Names of tha
New Officers Solceted.
The quarterly convention of societies
forming the First district of the Catho
lic Total Abstinence union of the dio
cese of Scranton was held In, Father
Mathew Opera house, at Archbald, yes
terday afternoon.
Delegates from nearly every society
In the district were present Besides
these were many who are prominently
Identified with the temperance move
inn't. Conspicuous among them were
Mr. O'llara, of Parsons, president of
the Diocesan union; iM. T. Burke, of
Carbondale; Editor James F. Judge, of
Smvuton; Dr. Connor, of Scranton, and
ex-Mayor John Kelly, of Carbondalo.
Mr. Loft us, vice-president of the First
district, presided. Tho convention was
opened with prayer by Hev. T. J. Oom
erford, pastor of St. Thomas' church of
Arohhuld, who also mude a brief ad
dress of welcome to 'I he delegates.
He expressed a hope that their de
liberations would be productive of good
to the total ubstlneiice movement. He
told them to waste no 'time In talking
of the evil effects of Intemperance, be
cause Its baneful Influence was well
enough admitted to make discussion of
that subject unnecessary. It is not
talk that accomplishes, he said; It Is
organization well directed and union
for a common purpose. He cautioned
the delegates against the expression of
radical views and urged them to seek
In their deliberations the golden mean
that combines conviction with charily.
President O'llnra's Remarks.
President O'Hara followed with a
fervent plea for individual effort In the
cause of total abstinence. A little per
sonal effort, properly directed, he said,
can sometimes accomplish a great deal,
and good example Is always more po
tent than five speeches. The delegates,
he continued, should do their best as
Individuals to help along the cause and
by giving good example show 'the bene
ficent results that flow from the virtue
of temperwnce.
IMIss Mary C. iRarrett, of Carbondalo,
eloquently" told of the ruin that Intem
perance had wrought and 'the wonder
ful amount of good that had come to the
world since the birth of the total ab
stinence movement. She pleaded for
greater Interest In temperance work
and dircted her remarks particularly
to the ladles, who have heretofore been
Indifferent to Us merits. She held that
in this work woman should work in
harmony with "those who are seeking
to Improve her condition.
Dr. Connor, of Scranton, told of the
injurious effects of over-Indulgence in
alcoholic Fi'lmulnnts on tho human sys
tem and produced a formidable lot of
Btaitlftics and opinions to support his
theories. John Kelly, of Carbondale,
and Vice-President Timothy McCoy, of
Hyde Park, also made brief addresses
calculated to encourage the delegates.
The speechmaklng over the creden
tials of the delegates were considered
and the following were reported pres
ent: Delegates In Attendance.

Ellen Kelly. Mrs. E. J. (McHale, Misses

Pioneer, Father Mathew, Carbondalo
Anthony Banks, John Kelly, Henry
Kennedy, James Lcnnady, Thomas
Flnnerty.
Vice-President Loftus made an. en
couraging report of the progress of the
district since Its last convention. Mr.
Burke, of Carbondale, spoke of the ad
vlsalblUty of holding lectures and en
tertainments to keep up active Interest
In th work of the societies, and sug
gested that the matter be discussed ait
this session. The matter was tempo
rarily laid aside.
Mr. Judge, of Scranton, who was not
a delegate, created a lively time by
asking the convention to consider the
following resolution;
Mr. Judge's Resolution.
Resolved, That we 'heartily concur
with and heartily endorse the action
recently taken by the Pittsburg Total
Abrtlnence union, foil lt efforts to sup
press .the manufacture of beer by the
Uenedritlne Order of Christian Broth
ers of Western Pennsylvania, and that
the co-operation of the bishop of said
dlorcse be asked to suppress the un
holy traffic which Is a disgrace and
scandal to the Catholic church.
Mr. Campbell, of Cairbondale, intro
duced the resolution, and Mr. Burke,
with equal promptness, rose to oppose
It. He tatd that the order to which the
resolution was referred was a great In
stitution devoted to education. It was
not engaged In the sale of beer. Before
considering the resolution he snld the
convention, should be sure of Its
ground and not condemn something It
knew nothing about. It was a matUr
for the hierarchy and the societies of
Pittsburg diocese to consider, and was
entirely out of place anywhere else.
Mr. O'Hara spoke In similar strain.
The resolution, he said, was one of a
character that invariably creates dis
sension and rarely accomplishes any
thing good. He believed the matter
should be left with the societies of the
diocese In which the Institution Is lo
cated. tla scored Mr. Bnrke.
Mr. Kelly, while commending the seal
of Mr. Judge, thought likewise, and Mr.
McCaffrey believed that if the delegates
would confine their attention to home
they would find more than enough to
do. Mr. Judge defended his resolution,
and was particularly severe on Mr.
Burke, who accused him of having In
troduced tho resolution for sensational
purposes.
Mr. Judge held It to be tha duty of
ths convention to protest, but found
few of tha same opinion, for the resolu
tion was lost by an almost unanimous
vote.
Mr. McCoy advocated the holding of
literary and social sessions by the so
cieties of ths district and thought much
good would come from them. Hs ex
pressed a belief that If these sessions
wars mora frequent membership would
be Increased and there would toe fewer
young men attracted to tha saloons.
Mr. MoCaffrey was also of opinion
that entertainments would do much
good, and he suggested that on the eve
ning of each quarterly convention a
lecture be given under tha ausplcles of
the society, entertaining tha conven
tion. Ha also offered a resolution pro
viding a per capita tax be levied to
pay tha expenses of such lecture. This
motion was declared unconstitutional.
New Officers Klccted.
Tha following officers were then
elected for the ensuing year: Vice
president. J. F. Loftus, Jessup; secre
tary, John Mulraney, Carbondale;
treasurer, P. M. Campbell, Carbondale;
trustees. W. F. Malloy, Carbondale;
Andrew Pldgeon, Carbondale. Carbon
dale was also selected as the place for
the next convention, which will be held
on tha first 8unday In October.
WHAT MR. BURKE SAYS.
lias (Jivea No Ona Authority to Kay Us
llss Preferred Charges.
A Tribune man sought an Interview
with William J. Burke yesterday re
garding the rumors afloat and the
statements and surmises of some of
the local papers to the effect that he
had been to Washington recently and
had there made charges of Incompeten
cy and the like agaliut his former em
ployer, ex-Senutor Grant Herring, In
ternal revenue collector for this dlf'trU'.t.
Mr. liurke, when asked if he would
make a plain statement of the case
and set the publlo aright as to the
truth or falsity of th rumors thought
a long while, and then remarked that
he preferred not to talk about the mart
ter at all. However, h flmlly decided
to make a statement and this lathe glut
of his guarded utterances:
"I was In Washington twice on busi
ness of a personal nature, I admit, but
no one has had the authority from me
to rjy th'at this business had nny con
nection with Mr. Herring's affairs or
that whlltjln Washington I, Incidentally
or cith'srwlse, preferred charges against
him."
This was all Mr. Burke- could be In
duced to impart at present. ,
WANTED A HOISE WARMING.
An Insane Woman with a Destructive
Msnla Arrested in the Nick of Time.
Word was received at the central po
lice station Saturday night that a wo
man named Sarah Whaley. residing at
217 Railroad street,' had suddenly be
come Insane and was acting in a very
violent manner. The patrol wagon
with three oflicers was dispatched
thither, and upon arriving Mrs. Wha
ley was found to have piled all her
furniture In one room and was about
to hurl a lighted kerosene lamp into the
pile.
She became very calm at the appear
ance of the officers and willingly ac
companied them, speaking of them as
her deliverers. She was examined yes
terday by Dr. Paine, who pronounced
her Insane. An official examination by
two doctors will be made tomorrow
with a view of sending her to the Hill
side home. She Is a widow and had
lived alone for a number of years. She
was for some time past thought to be
queer by the neighbors, but not until
Saturday last, when she was seen
grovelling in the street, kislng the
ground and singing at the top of her
voice, was she deemed Insane.
She would, most likely, have des
troyed the house and herself had not
the officers arrived in the nick of time.
